Hello,
Anyone have any experience of doing this? I gather that a lookup table is needed since there is no neat way of converting a GB18030 codepoint (which can be 1/2/4 bytes in length) to a Unicode codepoint? We have been supplied with the glyphs to cover GB18030 requirements, but ordered as per Unicode. I don't believe reordering the glyphs (to GB18030) is an option because we need to support UTF16 reception for some markets.
Regards, Richard.
In the past I've used the codepage support in Windows .NET to produce translation tables from various multibyte character sets to/from Unicode.

I have absolutely no idea how to do that! Any hints?
I'll look into it tomorrow, though.
Cheers, Richard.
Try this sort of thing...
Encoding enc_cn = Encoding.GetEncoding(936); byte[] bytes = enc_cn.GetBytes("A".ToCharArray());
more useful in your case would be to feed in individual characters (which are Unicode) and get out an array of bytes that are the codepage 936 equivalent. I think this is GB18030 or at least extended GB2312-80 (GBK).

OK, and now I have to wash my mouth out...
